I knew I always valued your posts but this is just beautiful.
Excellent taste
Now this is my pet peeve about Ajeel. You bring out the sand vs sand aspect of Scorpio Star dress but really Lucy has always been prepped to fight a sand user.
1. Scorpio Star dress vs Ajeel's Sand's of Death Wave

2. Taurus can absorb sand and use it for an attack.

3. Star Shot took out his Sand Wyverns

4. Her whip is made from water... and he is weak to water.
![]()
6. Speaking of water..... Aqua metria vs Ant Lion Pit
![]()
![]()
**especially when Aqua metria uses water and earth to turn the land into rolling waves of mud.
7. Water sphere to protect against this...

5. During Capricorn's training on the beach (before she got second origin or her timeskip training), she was pushing back sand with her power alone. It was a technique that her mother was taught too in order to increase her stamina. How awesome to delve into Capricorn, Layla, Lucy, and potentially (the plot device) Anna's history by having Lucy push back the sand with latent celestial training that was foreshadowed back in GMG????

8. Virgo has Earth Magic

9. In real life, wool clothes can protect against sand... Possibly the only valid reason for Aries's magic the entire series

10. Horologium's shield has been established to be OP since Edolas and Tenrou.

11. Would get to see the current level of Urano Metria

12. Gemini could copy someone like Juvia or Levy. Well Gemini could also turn into Lucy. How awesome for a fight where someone copies themselves and instantly knows what the other copy would do? Gemini can also fly and torpedo material like in the Flare battle.

13. Taurus Star Dress's Earthwave
![]()
14. Everyone wanted to see CSK in battle again

15. Loke is light. Erza used an armor that was based on LIGHT to signal Bisca's shot
Loke's SOS light signal for everyone to shoot

16.Sagittarius star dress would be just as affective as this move of Erza's.

17. Pair Lucy with someone who would be a good partner for her to fight with
A. Lucy + Mira
B. Lucy + Juvia
- Lucy idolized Mira since Chapter 1.
- They do the Mysteries of Fairy Tail together.
- Lucy cried upon seeing Mira in Avatar after returning to the guild.
- Lucy always is seen talking to Mira at the bar.
- They have never fought together.
- If Wendy and Erza can fight together based on a scene from OS and the fact that Erza needed Dragon Slaying Magic enchanted into her; Lucy and Mira could have teamed up against someone weak like Ajeel (who's not even on Irene's level) and have a logical win without any plot devices thrown in.
C. Lucy + Elfman
- Both water mages.
- Have fought previously in ToH together.
- Can multiply their attacks by doing unison raids.
D. Lucy + Wendy
- More believable pairing of beating @Emperor Spriggan's crew than Elfman + Lisanna
E. Lucy + Yukino
- This may seem weird since Wendy fought so much but Wendy only supported. Lucy could have supported Wendy with her hax celestial magic while Wendy used Dagon force for the final blow.
- Yukino has not using her magic since Grand magic games
- Her two spirits Libra and Pisces would be perfect for sand. Libra using gravity to keep Azir's sand body stationary, while Pisces's human form could turn his sand into water for Lucy to use Aquarius star dress with
18. Give Capricorn star dress something more than "His glasses protect me from eye attacks." That's pure laziness Mashima

19. Lucy never got pushed passed her limit; any time she started to fight, immediately PiS happened and a third party would interrupt. Azir would be one of the few Spriggans she could legit hold up to without some plot device whisking her away.
20. Because like you said.... Did Erza need 4 battles this arc? And if you look at the meaning of each fight....
- Lucy vs Jacob..... Natsu appeared even though she should be able to dodge the knives. Expecially when this fight could have easily been Lucy, Cana, and Makarov vs Jacob.
- Lucy vs Brandish.... Dimaria appeared.
- Natsu and Lucy vs August..... Irene's U1 interrupted..... Natsu and Lucy vs August would have been Elle and Haru vs Shakuma. It would have been better than Gildarts and Cana vs August.
Fighting to hype the arc is the weakest reason to fight as the Spriggans already had hype. In fact, Erza struggling against Azir just makes her wins against Irene and her pushing Acnologia down in the same arc, look like more of an asspull.
- Erza vs Azir (to hype the arc)
- Erza vs Neinhart/Historia (to show Erza's mental strength vs her ghosts and to establish an eye inheritance with Irene)
- Erza vs Irene (Mother and Daughter)
- Erza vs Dragon Acnologia (Because she's Erza)
That's a pretty well-written in-depth analysis of Lucy right there. I completely agree with you that Lucy is more than capable to take down Ajeel. That fight would have made a lot more sense than what we actually got in the manga.
And you brought up some really good points such as Taurus being able to absorb/reflect sand spells, the Earthwave attack, and Lucy's Cancer Star Dress blades. Some of which I even forgot myself.
The moment I saw Lucy casually shoot down all of Ajeel's Sand Wyverns at the start of Alvarez Arc, I knew that she would easily win if it came down to a match between them. The fact that she only needed one shot to eradicate those flying wyverns just shows the difference in power between those 2.
Contrary to popular opinion, I find Ajeel's Sand World to be one of the most overrated spells in the series. Lucy could literally oneshot Ajeel with her eyes closed by using a high-caliber spell like Urano Metria, which has a wide-range AoE.
Regarding Erza, I couldn't agree more.
She had way too many spotlights and opportunities in the last arc, most of which ended up being completely wasted. And the ridiculous part is that she was still greedy for more when we were down to the last few chapters.
Lucy having a solo fight against a decent Spriggan isn't too much to ask, in my personal opinion.
I find it funny that many people believe that villains are the ones "nerfed" by the plot.
Lucy, Mira, and Minerva are the ones who are really "nerfed", not the Spriggans.
PiS isn't always targeting FT's enemies. Sometimes, even the characters inside FT are restricted by PiS...

Although, I'm sure after this 100 years quest they will engage in one 


Best ones)
(more please)
) (this was a great fight, why is it not more popular?
)
)
and parts were really bad
)
(These two should fight together more)
I like this fight and thought it was funny)

what did I just watch? Manga was a better without so much silly filler

the way you put it nah I don't think Natsu didn't literally wanna fight her I mean cmon he has no problem fighting Erza but when it comes to Lucy he can't harm her/fight her it proved in dragon cry when he remember he tried to attack her while being controlled
. Naw, his sparring matches don't hurt.
